    We're Cold - Thermostat Hookup (RiteTemp stat / Janitrol HVAC)
    Installed a new thermostat in the summer, and it was working fine for A/C. but it's now unusually cold here in Florida (like many other places), and come to find out the heat isn't working.

    Goodman Janitrol AW3642
    Airconditioner/Electric heat unit wires:
    Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, Black

    Ritetemp 6022
    Thermostat COnnections:
    C, B, O, W2, W, Y, Y2, RH, RC, G, A

    Here's how it is currently hooked up:

    White - W
    Yellow - Not Hooked Up
    Red - RH
    Blue - Y
    Green - G

    This works fine for the A/C, but no heat. I uploaded a pic of the schematic attached to the HVAC unit:

    It's going to be another very cold night (my 6-year-old son woke up cold as ice this morning), so any help is *greatly* appreciated.

    Oops, the wires coming out of the wall are:

    Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, White

    No black, sorry

    I wish I could help but it is very hard to do wiring when the colors don't match the terminals and I can read the diagram that you posted.

    The R on Rh is right and the W on W should be right. If the thermostat is one that you operate by touching the screen and has all the readouts on the screen then make sure that you have you settings right. It probably should say "Heat" and also "Emergency Heat"

    All of the settings on the thermostat are correct, and I'm very familiar with how to use this model, since I used the same one in my old house. Here's a much higher resolution image of the wiring schematic:

    Does that help at all? It's after 11pm, and it's already getting cold in here. Outside temps are supposed to fall into the mid 20's tonight. :eek:
